As a man of color,I just can't get enough of watching these old black and white classic comedy shows of the past.They put a smile on my face.Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Milton Berle.Classie guys gone but definitely NOT forgotten.
Id be intrigued to hear you opinion on Rochester. I think he was representative of the racism prevalent, but also elevated the place of blacks, a little, by being in many ways Jack's equal, treating him no different than any other cast members. On the other hand, there were plenty of stereotypes. On the other other hand, stereotype jokes were their bread and butter.
Nothing compares to the banter between the two greatest comedians of all-time who unselfishly shared their talented contributions to the war effort in an attempt to make the entire world a better place, while reminding our troops what they were up against and that they were not alone in their fight . Light, innocent entertainment was especially essential during times of war. They both made countless trips abroad to insure the positive morale of the brave men and women who insured Americans freedom, while liberating the war torn regions of our planet. Very talented entertainers today deserve accolades for their sacrifice to contribute to this great cause and tradition, but no one will ever closely compare to Hope and Benny. Not to mention the countless entertainers who followed in their footsteps.
@@user-qg2uf8jp3h You can see Bob look off-stage several times during this performance. My guess is he's reading cards that are held up for him. However, if it so 'easy' why aren't the writers delivering the lines? Give Bob and Jack a little credit.
What boggles my mind is that its almost 2020 and i actually talked to people that lived in the 1800s for example,my grandmother born in 1880 and many great aunts and uncles.
That was a great show, and i'm very happy to remember the best of America, in so many ways, as today you sit on pins and needles with crazy leaders trying to make war!
HAPPY 39TH BIRTHDAY TAMMY HUSKY MEDINA O'PHELAN! The '39' line is near the end. Hope tries to set him up for it earlier, but Benny clearly had planned to use it later! Health and long life!

+Honey Chiles How true! i do like your screen user name do you know it's from a singer/comedienne leslie townes once worked with on stage and then on his. radio shows?.
2 of the most amazeing icons of there times..Gerorge burns and Gracie stand with these 2 and many more..But when it came to television jack did it..He even TRYED to put Maryln Monroe in a weekly set up in Las Vegas weeks before she died..Her real friends really knew she was in trouble waters..They knew that between the Kennedy's and a list of others something was gonna happen but no one knew what..
A la minute 1:18, Bob se moque de Desi Arnaz, que j'adore.... C'est absolument indigne, car de toute évidence, il est JALOUX de Desi.... La jalousie est une très mauvaise chose chez les humains, c'est dévastateur....
7:05 - Bob always stands there awkwardly, no smile really, and looking for the director to say show over on all of these specials... This one is more pronounced where it looks like he can't wait to exit stage left and hop in his Buick (hardly) and split.
I just found out recently that Bob Hope was insanely rich, and he owned a considerable amount of land in California, but he gave Johnny Carson a used VCR for a retirement gift. I’ll never understand rich people, but I sure would like to!

Thanks for the memories of my childhood, Bob.
Class.. all class. We'll never again see talent like that.
Class. That’s the first thing to came to my mind!
When Berle didn't do racial jokes....he did?
@@richiebear1969 did he?
Bob Hope, Jack Benny, and Milton Berle... three of the greatest comedians to ever live😊!!!
This was just 17 days before the day I was born. I came to love these guys. But Benny was king!
Bob and Jack--two legends of comedy!!
No Kartrashians, no vulgarity, just straight pure comedy. Golden years.
And no sex either!
How we miss these wonderful artists .

They were great comedians. Timing was perfect.
If you really like them, you can catch old radio show's on Sirius 148.

I am a man of black and white. The shows ended when color arrived.
@@guynorth3277Thanks. I'll look into it.

Two of the real greats. A masterclass of comedy.....
Note to young comedians...these are the pros. this is how it's done.
Funny and CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's done easier when you have 12 comedy staff writers writing every single word for you to say...

Bob Hope was known for ad-libbing, especially to make Jack crack up. Watch their Road to Nairobi sketch.
You know they're reading idiot cards. In real life they weren't that funny. Hope was quite nasty.
Jack Benny was born in 1894!! In the 1800s, that is mind boggling, still he felt so modern and fantastic

Yes indeed he was! Takes a bit of getting your head around . . . 😏.
Bob Hope & Jack Benny : my two very favorite comedians from the Hollywood/TV classic era.
Thanks for the video.
Hope wasn't a comedian he had a room full of hack writers. He couldn't write a joke to save his life
incredible banter and chemistry.
You have the feeling that they're each others favorite comedians.
Two of the best ever loved them.
Just wish we still had this Silly humour.......Rather that 'STUPID Politicians!
That was a great show, and i'm very happy to remember the best of America, in so many ways, as today you sit on pins and needles with crazy leaders trying to make war!
Did you forget about Korea DUMMY?
I was at Yakota AFB, Japan {1973}, when Bob Hope was on his last USO Tour, he certainly did bring brightness to the troops.
THIS WAS AMERICAN COMEDY...golden age
Sonny Liston ex heavy weight champion was asked his age. He stated the same as Jack Benny 39.
When TV had class.
Awesome 🎉❤️
HAPPY 39TH BIRTHDAY TAMMY HUSKY MEDINA O'PHELAN! The '39' line is near the end. Hope tries to set him up for it earlier, but Benny clearly had planned to use it later! Health and long life!
Always great to see those two crack each other up with ad libs.
The best comedy is wholesome comedy
wow.. care of your local post office.. back when we were all in it together.. that is how that comment made me feel.
When Hollywood wasn’t weird.....and people had talent...and didn’t have to cuss to get a laugh.....!
You mean when everyone was labeled a communist.
@@richiebear1969 no the communists are only in the Democrat party and that has just been in the last 7 years….! But nice try….

@Ezequiel Russell Instablaster ;)
These two were so similar in voice; humor; mannerisms.

Kennedys'es
These two, were something ...boyyy, I'll tell yahhh
Awesome
Bon hope was one cool dude. Retired Army
The Fathers of comedy TV set the Bar So High. Only few reached it with more $ and Pre Tape. LIVE is too hard.
39 and holding
A golden age for America, when the country was at peace with itself. Well, most of the country anyway.
Their delivery's were very similar.
I wonder if I can still entre the Buick Bonus Mileage Bonanza? The announcer said that there are five days left!!!
Leslie Hope and Benny Kubelsky.
When I was a little kid, I always confused these two.
Their vorpal blades went snicker snack.
He funny
🇺🇸
The end of that clip will soon be cut.....reference to Dr. Seuss !
Was Les Brown the musical conductor of this show? Thank! you for sharing this download on the youtube channel.
Another way to fight cancer is to quit tobacco.
Yep.
I had three family members die of cancer and none of them smoked.
captainmorgan757 Yes, it was the same with my dad. He didn't smoke either. 😔
captainmorgan757 My deepest sympathies, for your loss. 💔
A la minute 1:18, Bob se moque de Desi Arnaz, que j'adore.... C'est absolument indigne, car de toute évidence, il est JALOUX de Desi.... La jalousie est une très mauvaise chose chez les humains, c'est dévastateur....
Drug-fuelled rant?
English, you illegal!
I agree think Bob fancied Lucy and was jealous of Desi!
Back when comedy was funny
They were both born in England. Probably why they were passable funny
Jack Benny "was born Benjamin Kubelsky in Chicago on February 14, 1894, and grew up in nearby Waukegan, Illinois. Bob Hope was born in England.
7:05 - Bob always stands there awkwardly, no smile really, and looking for the director to say show over on all of these specials... This one is more pronounced where it looks like he can't wait to exit stage left and hop in his Buick (hardly) and split.
The irony is that in real life, Bob Hope was the real cheapskate.
I just found out recently that Bob Hope was insanely rich, and he owned a considerable amount of land in California, but he gave Johnny Carson a used VCR for a retirement gift. I’ll never understand rich people, but I sure would like to!
Hope was as funny as cancer.
